Visual Tracking and the Switch Using Child: The Penguin Roller Coaster
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
The Penguin Roller Coaster is designed to help children track the movements of small objects. The penguins do a variety of movements - gliding up, down, around, and bumpy steps up. Each of these movements is tracked differently, making this toy very interesting to watch. This toy is most suitable for children who ONLY watch the toy as is fairly fragile.

PLAY Tip
Pon Pon: Sensory Integration, Balance and Coordination
A great indoor/outdoor toy, especially for children with mild balance and coordination issues or general developmental delays. Start with simply bouncing in place and then work up to real bouncing. The strong kinesthetic stimulation can help some children with autism "click" into attentiveness. Good for indoor winter exercise in cold northern climes.
